Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Economy in the Sugar Factory In preparing this book the translator has had in mind primarily the dissemination of information relative to the methods resorted to in the older sugar producing countries. His own needs, as well as those of his staff, concerning the proper distribution and management of steam in sugar factories, for the purpose of effecting economies in the same, have also been an incentive towards its publication. After devoting many years to the designing of cane sugar apparatus and factories, he engaged in the beet sugar industry, and, finding no books in the English language which would answer his purpose, he undertook the translation of Mr. Abraham's work, which, to his mind, is, up to the present, the best work on the subject. Since making the translation of this book several years ago, the writer has had the advantage of visiting typical beet sugar factories throughout Italy, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France and Spain, giving special attention to those which elaborate white sugar, and has become more fully convinced of its value and of its profitable application to the methods resorted to in the United States. He hopes, therefore, that it will meet a real want in all sugar factories and perhaps also be of some little assistance to those technical schools which have a course in Sugar Engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Sugar Industry, Vol. 1: Historical and General Under the running title, The California Sugar Industry, it is pro posed to review the conditions as they exist in the State to-day from both the manufacturing and the agricultural standpoint, and to discuss such experimental work bearing upon this industry as has been and may be undertaken by this Experiment Station. This first number of the series is naturally historical in a large measure. Since California is the mother State of the industry, it is fitting that its early history should be recorded in Some connected manner that it may be easily accessible. Part I also presents statistical matter of much value to manufacturers and others Who may be study ing the subject with reference to the establishment of factories. This is particularly true as the periods covered by the reports are the longest on record in this country and cover a great variety of soils and climate. Part II will deal mainly With a review of the present agricultural conditions and practices, and suggestions for improving the same deduced from observations in the field and laboratory.

Download or read book Modern Energy Economy in Beet Sugar Factories written by K. Urbaniec and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the problems of identifying the potential for, designing and implementing, energy-saving measures in beet sugar factories. As the sugar industries in various countries differ considerably with respect to the economic conditions for factory operation and the level of technological development, the problem range is very broad. It may include the elimination of faulty or unreliable auxiliary equipment, or the introduction of simple improvements in vapour distribution schemes, in factories operated in countries where the need for efficient energy utilization has not really been very urgent until now. On the other hand, there are sugar factories in some other countries where considerable achievements have been made in energy saving but where further progress may still be possible if more advanced engineering problems are solved.The author takes an interdisciplinary approach to its subject aimed at demonstrating how the energy demand of a sugar factory can be affected by the interactions between a number of factors, namely: layout and parameters of the energy conversion and distribution processes; layout and parameters of the sugar manufacturing process and by-processes; characteristics of the equipment and control systems; completeness and accuracy of the energy monitoring systems. The book consists essentially of three parts. In Chapters 1 to 3, some theoretical background is given and engineering principles for creating efficient energy conversion and utilization subsystems in sugar factories are reviewed. The second part - Chapters 4 to 7 - discusses recent developments in these areas and their importance to energy conversion and utilization in sugar factories. The presentation is illustrated with suitable practically-oriented examples based mostly on the author's experience gained from nine years working with an engineering company specializing in the design, erection and modernization of sugar factories, as well as five years of consulting and research for the sugar industry. Short examples are presented in Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 7, while in the third part of the book (Chapters 8 and 9) summaries are given of real-life design analyses of energy subsystems of sugar factories, characterized by different levels of sophistication of the energy economy.The book thus provides a systematic review which will be helpful to managers and technologists in sugar factories where the problem may arise of choosing the most appropriate set of measures that best fit the factory's unique needs. It can also be used in university-level courses on the energy economy of sugar factories, and will be of interest to design engineers and specialists engaged in research in the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science in Sugar Production: An Introduction to Methods of Chemical Control Ugar being a product of vegetable life, the sugar factory may S be regarded as a machine for converting dissolved sugar into crystals; -01' for packing the produce of many acres of land into the smallest possible compass. As it is impossible to get more work out of a machine than is put into it, so it is impossible to get more sugar out of the factory than enters it in the form of raw material. Indeed, it is impossible to get as much, notwithstanding all improve ment in sugar machinery and the accumulated experience of centuries. Some sugar is invariably lost that is, not converted into crystals. The causes being various and sometimes Obscure. Whereas some losses appear to be unavoidable, even when skilled labour and the best machinery are at hand, there are others due to the continued use Of inferior machinery or processes, and to ignorance or carelessness on the part Of employees, so that the total loss in many sugar factories is a serious Obstacle to economic production.

The sorghum plant, which resembles Indian corn in general appearance and growth, was first introduced into this country from China in 1855. Owing to the scarcity Of sugar during the Civil War its cultivation for molasses as a substitute for sugar became quite general. The census report for 1860, five years after the introduction Of the plant, gives gallons as the total production Of sorghum syrup.5 In 1870 the production had increased to gallons, and in 1880 to gallons. After that year, however, the production declined until. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Technology of Sugar Classic Reprint written by John Geddes M'Intosh and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technology of Sugar A Year ago (Mid July, 1914) the French sugar works and distillery chemists held their annual congress at Arras. There was a monument there to the founder of the great beet-sugar industry of France. The congressionists reverently laid a wreath on this monument to the man who, as far back as 1825, annually manufactured in Arras alone 140 tons of beet sugar, besides another forty tons at Genlis, and who in 1838, when beet sugar was first taxed, farmed 5,685 acres, consisting of seven farms in the Pas de Calais, two farms in the Aisne, two in the Somme, and two in the Oise, managing at the same time besides these thirteen farms, seven beet-sugar factories as well as his Arras sugar refinery. (Very possibly this monument, like the Cathedral of Arras itself, is now in ruins.) The moral the author would draw is this, viz. that the beet-sugar industry is not to be established in Britain by irresponsible pamphleteers and professional company promoters, some of whom have disseminated broadcast statements which they cannot substantiate. Great Britain still awaits its beet-sugar pioneer - its Monsieur Crcspel Delisse - who will establish the industry by the sweat of his brow and by his own personal sacrifices. Until that man appears on the scene the author prefers to remain silent as to the present attempts. He does not forget the fact that prior to 1870 thirteen English distilleries were working on beets and all came to grief. As to the cane-sugar industry, it is impossible for planters to supervise their estates efficiently so long as they remain ignorant of the rudiments of agricultural chemistry. It is most deplorable to find, as mentioned in a footnote in the text, that some of the managing directors of several combined plantations cannot differentiate, as regards rum, between degrees overproof and degrees of percentage strength (Gay Lussac), and yet they wonder how it is they do not get the proper yield of alcohol from their molasses. Industrial alcohol from molasses should be a fruitful source of income in the future as well as the recovery of potash salts from the spent wash.

Book excerpt: A fascinating persuasive history of how sugar has shaped the world, from European colonies to our modern diets In this eye-opening study, Sidney Mintz shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with is use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times. "Like sugar, Mintz is persuasive, and his detailed history is a real treat." -San Francisco Chronicle

Download or read book Raising Cane in the Glades written by Gail M. Hollander and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last century, the Everglades underwent a metaphorical and ecological transition from impenetrable swamp to endangered wetland. At the heart of this transformation lies the Florida sugar industry, which by the 1990s was at the center of the political storm over the multi-billion dollar ecological “restoration” of the Everglades. Raising Cane in the ’Glades is the first study to situate the environmental transformation of the Everglades within the economic and historical geography of global sugar production and trade. Using, among other sources, interviews, government and corporate documents, and recently declassified U.S. State Department memoranda, Gail M. Hollander demonstrates that the development of Florida’s sugar region was the outcome of pitched battles reaching the highest political offices in the U.S. and in countries around the world, especially Cuba—which emerges in her narrative as a model, a competitor, and the regional “other” to Florida’s “self.” Spanning the period from the age of empire to the era of globalization, the book shows how the “sugar question”—a label nineteenth-century economists coined for intense international debates on sugar production and trade—emerges repeatedly in new guises. Hollander uses the sugar question as a thread to stitch together past and present, local and global, in explaining Everglades transformation.

Book excerpt: What is life like on a sugar plantation at the end of the twentieth century? What will happen if the sugar industry collapses? How do the poverty-stricken cane cutters of rural Jamaica fit into the global economy? And how does sugar make its way from the canefield to our kitchens? The Carribean's history is inseparable from sugar. In Jamaica entire communities depend on the sugar industry, earning a precarious living on old-fashioned plantations. For many the crop even doubles as currency. But as the advanced nations reassess the economic policies that keep sugar alive, time is running out for the island's industry. King Sugar looks at the world sugar business, identifying the key playersproducers, markets and transnational companiesand explaining how the industry works. It explores the economics and politics of trading agreements, the mysteries of the futures market and the technology of sugar production. Based on interviews with traders, buyers and producers, it provides a unique look at the history of this commodity. King Sugar also looks in detail at how ordinary people fit into this global industry. Through interviews with workers on a plantation she provides a vivid picture of producers and the crises they face. The book finally assesses the future of sugar, both in Jamaica and the wider world, and considers the options for those still ruled by "King Sugar."
